“On deck, an alarm must be both seen and heard to be effective.”

At the 24th International Shipbuilding & Marine Industry Exhibition (KORMARINE 2025), Qlight introduced three new ‘QN’ integrated warning light and electronic horn models featuring a flameproof explosion-proof structure, targeting both high visibility and extended sound reach for hazard signaling.

KORMARINE 2025 was held from the 21st to the 24th of this month at BEXCO, located in Haeundae-gu, Busan. Since its first edition in 1980, the exhibition has been held biennially and has established itself as a leading shipbuilding and marine business platform. This year’s event was jointly hosted and organized by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Busan Metropolitan City, the Korea Offshore & Shipbuilding Association (KOSHIPA), the Korea Marine Equipment Association (KOMEA), RX K. Fairs, and BEXCO.

Approximately 1,000 companies from 40 countries participated, operating around 2,100 booths. The exhibition focused on presenting practical, implementable solutions centered on the transformation of fuel, power, and data.

Qlight is a Korean manufacturer specializing in industrial signaling devices, designing and producing warning lights and electronic horns supplied to shipbuilding, chemical, and power generation sites. The company offers products suitable for marine and hazardous environments, providing site-customized options for voltage specifications, mounting orientation, lens colors, and alarm patterns.

The newly introduced QN series is categorized into ‘QN,’ ‘QNVS,’ and ‘QNHS’ depending on structure and installation orientation.
The QN is an explosion-proof electronic horn capable of delivering high sound pressure from a single unit.
The QNVS is a vertically oriented integrated model that combines a warning light with a built-in electronic horn.
The QNHS integrates a warning light and electronic horn in a horizontal body, designed for areas with limited space that require forward sound and light output.

All three models feature aluminum housings designed to withstand impact and vibration. They meet IP66 ingress protection standards and carry an explosion-proof rating of Ex db IIC T6 Gb. The maximum sound pressure level is specified at up to 123 dB, and users can select from various light modes—steady, flashing, strobe, and rotating—as well as multiple built-in siren patterns.

Also on display was the existing SED series, a combined warning light/indicator and electronic horn model designed for marine and heavy-duty environments. It uses aluminum and PC materials to enhance seismic resistance and impact durability, and allows tone and volume adjustment via switches on the main body.

The SED series also meets IP66 ingress protection standards and supports a wide range of light color options. A Qlight representative explained, “This lineup focuses on segmenting the QN series into vertical, horizontal, and electronic-horn-only types, allowing users to select installation orientation and explosion-proof ratings directly on site.”

Meanwhile, KORMARINE 2025 was held alongside its flagship event, the KORMARINE Conference 2025, themed “Shaping the Future: Change of Geopolitics and the Maritime Industry.” The conference offered insights from diverse perspectives, with speakers from industry, academia, and research institutions leading sessions on geopolitics, fuel transition, digital transformation (DX), and standardization issues.
